FREDERIC AUGUSTUS, &c. King of Saxony, buke of Warsaw, &c. " POLES !—Already has the . army, which had invaded our Duchy of Warsaw, been forced by the vitories of our great regenerator, and the valour of , , our troops, to abandon tne capital, and return to his own territory. " After having rendered thanks to Divine Provi dence for the signal proteaion it has granted us,.. it becomes our duty to employ the first moments - of the re-establishment of our Government, in express ing the sentiments which have been raised in us by the patriotism and attachment which the nation has so splendidly displayed in that moment of calamity. " The enemy had entered the country with a nu merous army. It appeared scarcely possible to re sist him ; but he soon learnt the power of courage, when led by a chief so brave and able as our minister of war, Pritice Poniatowski. " Poles l—Your battalions, which the great hero has created, and in whom he has inspired that vali ant spirit, the best proofs of which are beforeltis eyes, have shewn they were worthy their creator. Interior in number, they not only resisted lie ene my, but successrully attacked him. They have cat-- lied victory into his provinces, and have every where covered themselves with glory. " The whole nation hate on their part sheWn that the valour and patriotism of the ancient Poles is theirs. The inw!sion of a 'numerous enemy, hir tram intimidating them, has •only stimulated them to voluctary a:ld ext; - 4orklivary offers to etacriticc their private fOrtlties. They have wholly devoted themselves to the defence of their country. The departmeuts have emulated each other in filling the ranks of the armies, and furnishing the necessary contributions. They have proved that the love of their country is a national 'quality, and have render ed themselves worthy to bec ome mo d e l s of t h at qua lity. Providence has also crowned those generdtA efforts with success. " Our. Council of Sttte has; by its deal and wis dom, seconded by all the other'cunstitutional autho rities, succeeded in maintaining the measures of the Government as far as circum s tanc e s _would permit. " Poles !—Your country owes its safety to you .) it owes to you the approbation of your great rege nerator, whose notice the brave condo& of the army, and the ardent zeal of the nation, will not have es caped. It owes to you increased respe4,among its neighbours, and the glory which the sovereign feels in reigning over such a nation. " Though at a distance, our heart has ever oeen with you. Your situation was ever : present to us.— Your fidelity and attachment to us, has increased, if possible, : ours to you ; and we have been unable to afford you the assistance our heart desired : it was with pain we were prevented by circumstances. " Polish People !—Tranquility is restored toyou, and the Constitutional Government. Our great solicitude shall be to endeavour to heal the Wounds the war has occasioned reward merit, and restore order, which• your .fuOre happiness requires, On your part, ~you will . contribute to this by entire con fidence in the Government, which will be guided by our paternal intentions.

" Even at the present tnoment of trouble, it was fcii me a great consolatitin to behold our ctiuntry eA joy an almost perfect tranquility; while the torch of war was enkindled in other Mates, and there spread its rivages anew, We believedit necessary to aban don for a time our good city of Dresden, and fix our abOde at Leipzic, which is no great distance.— We 116p.ed that we could continue there to apply our labour's to the Government Of our faithful subjettl; the mote to,, as according to the bourse the war had taken, an hostile invasion of our country was by no means probable: " We were so much the more painfulllvaffeded at beholding this hope canish,, od. being-obligsEto remove from Leipzie to a considerable distance, in order to place ourselves out of danger, by avoiding the route in which the troops which were advanc ing from Bohemia upon Saxony and Franconia,. might seize our person and Royal Family.

In the mean while, we thank you publicly for supporting your situation with tranquility and dignity, that you . have lent no ear to the enemy, and in this given new proof of that love and attach ment towards us which are our felicity, and Which we feel equally for you.. " It is therefore with confidence that we exhort yam;.

There are frequent meetings, it is said,' on the subjeCt of rebuilding oia Drury, but nothingstend ing to decisive measures seems to be in train. The best plan, perhaps, would be to call a meeting of the renters, and induce them to suspend their claims under the patent, till • a new theatre can be erected, for then the proprietors and performers will be kept together, and a liberal subscription might take place sufficient to raise an edifice equal to that which has so wonderfully advanced in Covent-garden.
